/tmp/vdh-52778uPEohALa80Kz.tmp: Invalid data found when processing input



What is noticable is the different version of ffmpeg

The above is, I assume, from the website "youtube" and may mean nothing

My verion is

[***@unimatrix ~]$ ffmpeg
ffmpeg version 4.3.6 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 10 (Mageia 10.4.0-3.mga8)

Is the "WARNING: library configuration mismatch" something to worry about


I have done the usual clearing of cache and cookies

The junk user account fails in the same way so it may not be my config
afterall.

I would prefer that you would/could provide a/the command line command
and any instructions to allow me to see if it happens on my install. Example:
$ firefox youtube_url_here
left click mouse, select download.

I do not see the Ubuntu verbiage when running ffmpeg and version matches yours.

Do you mean LMC on the VDH dowload menu bar icon



Actually in this case it does not fall over with the resulting blue
number notification turning red but seems to be OK.
whereas in fact it is not downloading at all and will eventually time out

example



i have since discovered the support forum and it recognizes there is a
new problem with VDH OH Well!!


PS Bits

How have you been?
I only see you now with the zoom updates

That is my problem in trying to re-create your problem. I have no idea how/what to
do to recreate your problem. Just now tried
firefox http://youtu.be/Nl5-YA704Xk
and have yet to figure out where to click what, to get to your download command for testing.

I am running firefox-113.0.2.tar.bz2 install.
I see there is a new firefox-114.0.tar.bz2 on vendor site so I am off to install it.

Yup, VirtualBox and Firefox now tell you about new updates so I quit posting
about their updates.


He, he I am making out my will because I got a heart medical operation end of this month.

Cardio vascular expert is still trying to find out why I am quite fatigued
with ~5 minutes of any activity like walking or standing. I check my blood
pressure and it is 90/80 thereabouts. Takes an hour to get back in the 135/xx range.
He says if test finds a clogged vein on this test they will insert a stint.

Problem started after I came down with Covid when it first came out and
now I still have long hauler problems. I am impressed on the amount of simple
bash command that I have to lookup since I was infected. Glad symptoms did not
put me in the hospital like some people.

As for posts, there are very few posts that have shown up where I have something
to add/supply any input.

I not having any problems with Cauldron except named will not come up with
same stuff that works on Mga8. -(

Getting to get ready to do another clean install to test all my automated
install scripts.

Ah Ha The process is straightforward
Video download helper must be installed and will place a three color
ball icon (red,blue,yellow) in the menu bar on the right hand side.

then you start a youtube video.
left click on the colored ball icon and then select the appropriate
video entry from the drop down menu.
You should then see a blue square flag notification on the ball icon
indication a download
This will rapidly turn red when the download fails, although it can
sometimes stay blue, but sort of hang on the download process.

This is a recent development and smacks of deliberate sabotage (paranoid
mode on)

I wish mine was that low, currently 167/87 blood sugar is high too.

There are rising suspicions about those vaccines we were all
" encouraged " to partake

I have recently dabbled in the carnivore keytone diet. To the extent of
just eliminating carbs and have lost 14 Kg in two months. My jeans are
falling off
it is mot calorie restrictive so no pain just no carbs

You can eat as much fatty steak as you want - no potatoes, no fries and
no sugar in the barbecue sauce :-)

Ok, installed helper in /usr/local for system wide use.
Since your post showed ubuntu I chose to install all other Linux downloader helper tar file
to use during helper application install.

Did the download video click and terminal showed no errors.
No idea where it is downloaded.

And now Murphy was watching and video no longer exists on youtube.

After my bout with plain covid and seeing people in the hospital, I had
no quams about getting the booster shots.
I believe I also caught the omicron virus at one point and had 2 days of
flue like symptoms and everything went back to normal. Thank you booster shot.

He, he,he I went with what I call the modified Atkins diet.

Atkins diet is a low carb diet. Did not want to bother limiting carbs so I just
ate protein foods only. I have a gazzle exercise machine. Before and after work
and twice Saturday and Sunday I would do a half hour of walking at ~3+ miles an hour
and a 1 minute sprint. Started at 269 pounds and lost about .9 a pound a day until I hit 160.

Inched back up to 195 since I have no energy for exercise and off the diet.

People at work noticed and one person ask about what I ate he was impressed when
I said carton of eggs, Ribeye, T-Bone, and other types of steaks, hand burgers. no buns/bread
and 2 pounds of thick cut bacon that week.

Yep, and about day 3 is when your body switches to burning fat for fuel.
Did notice brain was not working as fast/well when I was not eating carbs.

OK Bits we can call off the dogs
I started to get way to complicated. I booted Mageia 6 this morning
intending to try the older browser.

Then I realized all I need to do was test download from some other video
host site, eg: Rumble. It works just fine.

So suspicion centers on Youtube effing us around - again.

I could have tried this yesterday instead of running off bat shit crazy
:-( you did mention brain fog!!


AND!!! my moment of diet epiphany was stumbling into a youtube channel
by "Sten Ekberg". I realized that the Guy made a lot of sense

As an alternative to Video Download Helper, you might consider trying
Clipgrab from the Mageia repos. I've found that it works better for
downloading Youtube videos.

Copy the video url and paste it into Clipgrab, and when it finds the
clip select the quality you want and click on "Grab this Clip!" I find
the download speed is much better than with the Firefox extension, and
you don't have to keep the browser open if you don't want to.

As an alternative to Video Download Helper, you might consider trying
Clipgrab from the Mageia repos. I've found that it works better for
downloading Youtube videos.
Copy the video url and paste it into Clipgrab, and when it finds the
clip select the quality you want and click on "Grab this Clip!" I find
the download speed is much better than with the Firefox extension, and
you don't have to keep the browser open if you don't want to.

Glad I could help.

I have new wrinkle, videodownload helper is failing to download
It complains of aggregation failure
The "details" are listed below
(very long)
ffmpeg version n4.1.5-vdhcoapp Copyright (c) 2000-2020 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 9 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04)
configuration: --arch=x86_64
All that long stuff is a dump by ffmpeg when it encounters and error, to
help you figure out what might be going wrong. the important thing is
the last few lines when it says why it dumped it load.
But I agree tha tthe full command line would have been helpful.

I would prefer that you would/could provide a/the command line command
$ firefox youtube_url_here
left click mouse, select download.
I do not see the Ubuntu verbiage when running ffmpeg and version matches yours.
ffmpeg version 4.3.6 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 10 (Mageia 10.4.0-3.mga8)
configuration: --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-pic --libdir=/usr/lib64 --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --incdir=/usr/include --disable-stripping --enable-postpro

/tmp/vdh-52778uPEohALa80Kz.tmp: Invalid data found when processing input
What is noticable is the different version of ffmpeg
The above is, I assume, from the website "youtube" and may mean nothing
My verion is
ffmpeg version 4.3.6 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 10 (Mageia 10.4.0-3.mga8)
Is the "WARNING: library configuration mismatch" something to worry about

Which videodownload helper? If we discussed it before, I've forgotten.

It's a Firefox extension and that is what it is called

Video Download Helper


But as I posted to Bit twister The fault would appear to be youtube
